Dismissed by Paramount: Analyzing Salazar v. Paramount Global and the Video Privacy Protection Act.

A Tennessee federal court dismissed a class action suit against Paramount because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that his subscription to Paramount's 247Sports online newsletter made him a "subscriber of goods or services of a video tape service provider" under the Video Privacy Protection Act ("VPPA"). Here, the court determined Salazar did have an Article III standing claim with respect to the traceable conducted activities committed by Paramount on its website, leading to an injury suffered by the plaintiff. In this case, plaintiff Michael Salazar filed a class action against Paramount alleging that he and others similarly situated should not have had their browsing activities tracked via Facebook from Paramount's 247Sports website.
